We have this erroneous belief that our ancestors were drooling idiots!

Who does the 'we' word refer to here, EXACTLY?

No one I know has this BELIEF. Do you have the BELIEF that your ancestors were drooling idiots?

The belief I refer to is apparent in the words we use.

So, I just ask two questions, only, and NEITHER gets answered.

Touché!

No one you know has that belief. Good to know. You know some smart people, learn from them.

I suggest learning from EVERY one, and NOT just SOME.

It's not easy - I found out the hard and in a too little too late kinda way. I suggest you read two-thirds and post one-third of the time.

I suggest you respond to what is only asked for.

Or, are you NOT able to SEE what is/was being asked for?

The part after the "Or" is likely true!

What's the problem, I fail to see one but only from a certain naya of course.

That is VERY OBVIOUS. But, after all, you are likely using a VERY DIFFERENT definition for the word 'problem' that I do.

If you say so.

I don't know how far this is true but reportedly, Aristotle was a big name in Christianity.

A question for Theists is, how can we live in relationship to a personal God, while unable to prove His existence?

By Faith We Understand

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

New King James Version

"The divine is God's concern; the human, man's. My concern is neither the divine nor the human, not the true, good, just, free, etc., but solely what is 'mine,' and it is not a general one, but is - 'unique,' as I am unique. Nothing is more to me than myself!"

New King Max Version

Verily I say unto thee......damnit! I forgot what I was going to say.
